Answer:
Rate = k [ClCO][Cl2]
Explanation:
Cl2⇌2Cl(fast,equilibrium)
Cl+CO⇌ClCO(fast,equilibrium)
ClCO+Cl2→Cl2CO+Cl(slow)
The rate determining step from which the rate aw is obtained from is the slowest step of a chemical reaction. In this reaction, the slowest step is;
ClCO+Cl2 → Cl2CO+Cl (slow)
The rate equation for the step is;
Rate = k [ClCO][Cl2]
ClCO is an intermediate and would eventually get cancelled out from the overall rate equation.
Phosgene is the chemical used in the formation of pesticides and ios poisonous. The rate law is given as, k [chloroformylradical][chlorine gas].
What is rate law?
The rate law is the relation of the concentration of the reactants and the products with that the speed of the reaction.
The reaction for the formation of phosgene is given as,
[tex]\rm Cl_{2} \rightleftharpoons 2Cl\; (fast,equilibrium)\\\\\rm Cl+CO \rightleftharpoons ClCO\; (fast,equilibrium)\\\\\\rm ClCO+Cl_{2}\rightarrow Cl_{2} CO+Cl\; (slow)[/tex]
The rate law is determined by the rate-determining step which is the slowest step of the reaction.
[tex]\rm ClCO+Cl_{2}\rightarrow Cl_{2} CO+Cl\; (slow)[/tex]
The rate of the equation is given as,
[tex]\rm Rate = k [ClCO][Cl_{2}][/tex]
As COCl is an intermediate the third step will be the rate-determining step.
Therefore, the slow step determines the rate of the reaction.
